This is why you need to be reading books and writing your own emails, by the way. When you outsource your thinking abilities, you risk turning your brain into soup. Heavy dependence on AI has already been linked with severe cognitive decline. What you don’t use, you will lose.

It was some years ago that tattooist Mim encountered an important piece of her heritage. Hachiji, the traditional tattoos of the Ryukyuan people of Okinawa, seemed doomed to become a part of the past. Thanks to Mim & others, that’s starting to change.

It is traditional in Iceland to give the gift of a book to be opened on Christmas Eve. Books are unwrapped and then read together. It is called Jolabokaflod (Christmas book flood). 📖 🎄

This print always gives me Studio Ghibli vibes, it especially makes me think of Swamp Bottom in Spirited Away.

In Chinese #mythology, the River God’s marriages are well-known, but the Tang Dynasty(618–907) reveals a rarer tale—the River Goddess, a dragon in human form seeking a husband.

Ohayou Bluesky. It’s cloudy here. Let me tell you about another trend among Japanese artists. They're moving to Xfolio from pixiv nowadays. Xfolio clearly says they ban all of genAI images, while pixiv is pro-AI. Many AIbros have tried to spam Xfolio, but they have been swept off into the dustbox.

The witch who reads the omens of land and chooses to ignore them, has no advantage above those lacking the skill. Sometimes wisdom is as simple as recognising good advice. Acuity in knowing which paths not to take is as important as any spell. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #Witchcraft

No one can be said to have peaked while they are still doing their thing. That's a "complete body of work" judgement. I have seen remarkable late-career work, most recently from David Crosby, whose album "Here If You Listen" is as good as his famous classic work imo

You will be shocked, shocked to hear that "The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong"! 🙄 Duh! OF COURSE IT'S WRONG. But now there's a cool article listing the biological and evidentiary reasons, along with nifty diagrams.
